Standing on the Promises of God – Free Printable
Have you ever had someone promise you something? Did they keep their promise? Well, I remember as a child a family member made me a promise that they never fulfilled. Year after year I held on to the promise hoping they would do as they said but they never did. I was disappointed.
Years later, I have learnt that we can’t stand on the promises of everyone but surely we can stand on the promises of God. Do you know the standing on the promises of God song? The lyrics to standing on the promises of God song in the second verse and chorus says
“Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.”
“Standing, standing
Standing on the promises of God my Saviour,
Standing, standing
I’m standing on the promises of God.”
This standing on the promises of God song reminds us that we can count on what God says as his promises cannot fail.

The Promises of God
We want children to learn that they can stand on God’s promises too. As the kids, “God keeps his promises,” song says
“You keep your promises
I know I can trust in you
When you speak it, God you do it
Your words are always true
God makes a promise and then he keeps it”
Numbers 23:9, NIV says that “God is not human that he should lie.” This means that we can stand on the promises of God.
The promises of God are sure.

“For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ.
The bible writers experienced being able to trust the promises of God and spoke of it. One bible author says in Hebrews 10:23, ICB
“…we can trust God to do what he promised.”
To teach children to stand on God’s promises, parents can do the same and speak about standing on the promises of God. The bible encourages parents in Deuteronomy 6: 7, NIV to “talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” So parents should talk about God’s promises everyday, everywhere, all the time. They should talk about their experience standing on the promises of God.
A great way to talk about these promises is through reading. Peek-a-Boo Prayers is a great rhyming lift a flap board book which parents can use to introduce kids to the amazing promises found in the bible. It has colorful illustrations and really cute rhymes. Imagine reading to your child
“Hello God, I’m so thankful you watch over me everyday.” and then underneath the flap it says ” Peek-a-boo, God sees you. All the time God sees us. 2 Corinthians 2:17″
There are so many promises in this small book which are worth sharing with your kids as you help them stand on the promises of God.
